Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 502 Afterwards [Subscription Request]

The sudden joking voice caused the expressions of the two warring parties in Tuyunling to change instantly.

The face of Dillon, the Black Dragon Hall Master of the Hualong Sect, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly became panic-stricken, with fear in his eyes.

Zhou Chun and Lin Hongyu, who were originally extremely panicked, instantly became ecstatic, like drowning people grabbing a life-saving straw.

Although both of them were somewhat unfamiliar with the joking voice, it was not difficult to know from the information revealed in his words that the person was a senior cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage from Jingguo.

Then it must be a helper on my side!

Therefore, Zhou Chun immediately had an idea and suddenly controlled the formation to create a gap.

This gap seems to be convenient for the Nascent Soul cultivators outside to come in, but in fact it is also convenient for Dillon to go out.

Zhou Chun didn't want a Nascent Soul cultivator to take action in Tuyun Ridge. If the aftermath of such an action was leaked, it would bring great damage to the Zhou family's mountain gate.

Although Dillon knew Zhou Chun's intention to release the formation at this time, he had to give up attacking him and went straight to the gap.

Although he was a master of formations, before he came to assassinate Zhou Chun, he was confident that he could break through the blockade of the Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation and leave.

But that is based on the premise that there is no interference from Nascent Soul cultivators.

Now that he knew that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator outside, if he still dared to stay in Tuyun Ridge, he would be waiting to be caught in a jar!

However, as soon as his figure rushed out of the gap, a golden mirror light broke through the air and shone on him.

Under the illumination of the golden mirror light, the several layers of defense he had set up were all penetrated in an instant, and then he let out a miserable scream.

But relying on the powerful defensive ability brought by the fourth level of "Secret of Dragon Transformation", Dillon actually withstood the attack of Nascent Soul and quickly turned into a black light and flew away into the distance.

"Can you run away?"

A faint voice resounded through the sky, and another golden mirror light shone towards Di Long who was flying away.

Dillon in the air also knew that this was a desperate moment.

So he quickly raised his hand and waved it, and a piece of black dragon scale as big as a water tank rushed towards the golden mirror light, and instantly turned into a ball of black divine light and died together with the mirror light.

This was obviously a life-saving method given to him by the Yuanying stage cultivator of the Hualong Sect, so that he would not be completely helpless when facing the Yuanying stage cultivator.

Unfortunately, this one-time measure can only protect him temporarily.

Then, a figure flashed in the sky, and a golden figure suddenly turned into a golden light and chased towards Dillon. His speed was much faster than his!
While chasing, golden mirror light continued to shoot towards Dillon.

Even though Dillon was able to block two or three attacks with various means, he couldn't keep holding on forever.

However, Zhou Chun did not see what happened to Dillon in the end.

A late Jindan cultivator who was trying his best to escape was so fast that a distance of a hundred miles could be covered in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Chun only found out afterwards that Dillon was ultimately unable to escape the clutches of Tianjing Zhenren and died in the pursuit of this Nascent Soul cultivator.

Later, when Zhou Chun went to the Yuelun Sect to pay a visit to Master Baiyue in person, he found out that Jingguo had long guessed that the Hualong Sect would not sit idly by and watch Lin Hongyu and Zhou Chun keep jumping around, so they had been secretly arranging people to wait near the Zhou family's mountain gate.

The Hualong Cult probably guessed this before, so they never sent anyone to attack the Zhou family.

But this time Zhou Chun held the Golden Elixir Ceremony in a high-profile manner, and the Hualong Sect obviously couldn't stand it anymore, so they specially sent the Black Dragon Hall Master Dillon to disguise himself and lurk in Tuyunling to launch an assassination operation against him.

But Dillon obviously didn't expect that he deliberately waited until the Golden Elixir Ceremony was over before taking action, and chose to assassinate from the inside, but still failed.

At the same time, he did not expect that the person arranged by Jingguo to secretly ambush him was not the expected late Jindan cultivator, but Tianjing Zhenren, a Yuanying cultivator!
A dignified Yuanying stage cultivator would actually wait patiently outside Tuyun Ridge, secretly protecting a new Jindan stage cultivator from a Jindan family.

Ti Lung also couldn't understand until his death why Master Tianjing did this!
He naturally didn't know the inner distress of Master Tianjing.

Ever since his Nascent Soul was captured by True Man Qingxiao, he was forced to accept the control of the "God Forbidden Art" and separated one third of his own spiritual essence and invested it into the "God Forbidden Token".

As a result, not only will he never have the hope of breaking through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in his lifetime, but even his own life will be in the hands of others and he will lose his freedom.

Now, on the surface, he is a high-ranking Nascent Soul cultivator, but in reality, he is just a high-level thug under the control of the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect. He dare not disobey the orders given to him by the Nascent Soul cultivators of the two factions!

Besides, Zhou Chun was completely relieved when he saw Dillon and Tianjing Zhenren chasing and fleeing and disappearing quickly.

Then he hurriedly restored the gap in the formation, while releasing his spiritual sense to check the entire mountain gate to prevent any more people from the Dragon Transformation Sect from lurking inside.

No matter what means Dillon used to disguise himself and sneak in, it shows that the Zhou family’s security system still needs to be improved.

Zhou Chun would not blame the tribesmen who let Dillon in, but he would never tolerate such a thing happening again.

After all, it is a shame for any force to be quietly penetrated by a powerful enemy.

Fortunately, Dillon only wanted to assassinate Zhou Chun and Lin Hongyu this time, otherwise, with his late Jindan cultivation, if he started a massacre in Tuyunling, the consequences would be unimaginable!
After checking twice repeatedly, Zhou Chun was sure that there were no hidden enemies, so he withdrew his own protection.

However, all members of the tribe were still strictly ordered not to move around randomly, and to stay where they were supposed to be and wait for the ban to be lifted.

"Zhengchun, are you okay? Are you injured just now?"

Zhou Mingde had already come to Zhou Chun's side, but because he saw that Zhou Chun had not let go of his guard, and felt Zhou Chun's undisguised huge spiritual sense searching inside the mountain gate, he suppressed his worry and did not speak. Now that he saw Zhou Chun let go of his guard, he looked at Zhou Chun with a worried look on his face and asked.

At this moment, Zhou Chun looked a little pale, as if he had lost a lot of energy.

At this time, hearing Zhou Mingde's concerned voice, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said, "Junior is fine, just a little bit of energy wasted."

"I'm glad you're okay. You are the pillar of our Zhou family now. You must protect yourself!"

Zhou Mingde frowned as he spoke, and suddenly asked, "Was that Senior Tianjing Zhenren just now?"

"Judging from the methods used, it should be Senior Tianjing!"

Zhou Chun nodded and confirmed the matter.

In fact, he had also seen Tianjing Zhenren before.

However, the Tianjing Zhenren he met when he attended the Tianjing Dharma Assembly was his original body. The current Tianjing Zhenren was obviously a person who had taken over another body and cultivated himself. His appearance and voice were different from the original one.

However, for cultivators, appearance and voice are easy to change, but supernatural powers are difficult to fake.

That powerful golden mirror light, apart from Master Tianjing, there is no other Nascent Soul cultivator in Jingguo who can master this method.

Then Zhou Mingde said softly, "If it is really Senior Tianjing, then he is our Zhou family's savior this time. Zhengchun, you can prepare a generous gift to thank him later!"

Hearing what he said, Zhou Chun was slightly stunned and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Mingde. As his thoughts turned, he understood what he meant.

He immediately showed a look of understanding and nodded, saying, "You are right, I will go to Tianjing Villa in two days."

However, he knew in his heart that Zhou Mingde wanted him to take this opportunity to see if he could establish some relationship with Tianjing Zhenren, who was in the Nascent Soul stage.

As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Even though the Zhou family is now under the protection of the Yuelun Sect, the family gate is closer to Tianjing Villa after all.

If something like this happens again in the future, the Moon Wheel Sect will definitely be out of reach and unable to provide timely assistance.

Tianjing Villa is very close and can provide rescue at any time.

Therefore, if the Zhou family could establish a relationship with Master Tianjing, it would definitely be of great benefit to them.

However, Zhou Chun had a vague feeling that this matter was not that simple, and that Master Tianjing might not be as reliable as Zhou Mingde thought.

But this is just his feeling, without any evidence.

In the following time, seeing that Tianjing Zhenren, who had gone to chase Dillon, did not come back, Zhou Chun went out to clean up the battlefield.

Before this, Dillon was hit by the attack of Tianjing Zhenren outside Tuyunling, and one of his dragon scale shield magic weapons was directly destroyed by the golden mirror light and fell to the ground.

Zhou Chun picked it up at this time and found that the magic shield had been broken into several pieces and it was impossible to repair it.

But he still put these things away and prepared to send them to Tianjing Villa later.

No matter what, these are the spoils of Tianjing Zhenren.

Maybe the other party doesn't care about this little thing, but we, the Zhou family, can't keep it for ourselves.

Not long after that, Zhou Chun received a flying sword message from Wang Qingyun, a Jindan-stage cultivator from Tianjing Villa, informing him that Di Long had been killed by Master Tianjing.

Upon learning that Ti Lung had passed away, both Zhou Chun and Lin Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Zhou Chun lifted the ban on the monks in the tribe and allowed the tribesmen to resume their normal lives.

After meditating in the cave for three days, he took a thousand-year-old precious medicine and went to Tianjing Villa to meet Master Tianjing, ready to thank him in person.

Unexpectedly, Master Tianjing had no intention of meeting him at all. After accepting the gifts he sent, he just sent someone to tell him "I know" and that was it to send him off.

It was obvious from the look on her face that she didn't want to have any more interaction with him.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun could no longer continue to pester the person.

He immediately said goodbye and left, then turned to the Moon Wheel Sect to meet with Master Baiyue and report that he had been attacked at the family gate. It was also from Master Baiyue that he learned that the Moon Wheel Sect had arranged people to secretly wait in ambush, and at the same time, he received comfort and assurance from Master Baiyue, so that he no longer had to worry about the revenge of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

With this guarantee, Zhou Chun felt completely relieved. After expressing his gratitude profusely, he returned to his family with peace of mind.

After returning to the family, Zhou Chun summoned all the senior members of the Zhou family to discuss ways to improve the security measures at the mountain gate.

Currently, the security check of people entering and leaving Zhou Family Mountain Gate is mainly carried out through the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators themselves, relevant written relics, and some monsters with keen sense of smell.

However, since it is impossible to arrange Purple Mansion Stage cultivators to guard the gate, spiritual sense detection is basically ineffective for Golden Core Stage cultivators, and written tokens may also be used by others.

The monsters' olfactory screening is basically only for acquaintances. If there were to be a sudden influx of thousands of strangers like at the Golden Elixir Ceremony, the monsters would not be able to smell anything at all.

So after some discussion, Zhou Chun decided to improve the family's security measures from two aspects.

On the one hand, it is to set up a formation that can detect the cultivation level of the cultivators entering and leaving. Although this formation is not very effective against those who deliberately hide their cultivation level, it can sometimes play some unexpected roles.

On the other hand, he is trying his best to find a kind of evil insect called "Spirit Sucker".

This "spiritual sucker" is a very strange demon insect. It likes to absorb spiritual power, and the higher the quality of the spiritual power, the stronger its reaction will be after absorbing it.

If we could find this "soul sucker" and tame it, and have every outsider and Zhou family cultivator entering and leaving the mountain gate emit a stream of magic power for it to absorb and detect, we could completely put an end to the situation where high-level cultivators disguised as low-level cultivators could sneak into the mountain gate.

After all, cultivation can be concealed through secret techniques, but the quality of mana is difficult to change.

However, the "soul sucker" is very rare. Whether and when the Zhou family can find this evil insect depends on their luck.

After Zhou Chun finalized the two security check methods, he no longer cared about the matter.

To set up the formation to detect the cultivation level of the cultivators entering and leaving, Zhou Chun could simply ask the formation master of the You family or someone from the Yuelun Sect for help, and there was no need for Zhou Chun to worry about it himself.

As the Zhou family officially regained its status as a Jindan family, he no longer had to do many things personally. He only needed to write a letter as a token of trust, and many cultivators would naturally give him face after reading it.

After handing over the matter to other people, Zhou Chun first went back to the cave to renovate his cave.

Dillon’s previous attack had caused great damage to his cave. Not only were all the formations and restrictions broken, but many of the stone chambers inside the cave were also collapsed and shattered.

At this time, Zhou Chun could only summon Stone, the golden-armored mountain turtle, and let it restore and renovate the cave.

This kind of work was a piece of cake for Stone. It easily moved away all the gravel and sand in the cave according to Zhou Chun's requirements, and restored all the gaps to their original state.

However, Zhou Chun still had to rearrange the formations and restrictions inside the cave.

However, this matter was not so urgent, and Zhou Chun was not in a hurry to do it.

After having an intimate moment with his Taoist companion Su Yuzhen, he continued what he had not completed before and counted the gains from this Golden Elixir Ceremony.

A total of 137 gifts were received at this Golden Elixir Ceremony, including 38 thousand-year-old spiritual medicines, six kinds of magic weapons and spiritual materials, six third-level magic tools, six monster eggs, and a number of other spiritual medicines, elixirs, and spiritual materials.

Among those thousand-year-old elixirs, two of them happened to be the necessary materials for refining the "Ancient Dust Pill", which was an unexpected gain.

Among the magical materials, [Millennium Black Iron] and the gold essence given by the ancestor of the Su family can both be used to refine the magic weapon.

The rest of the thousand-year-old elixirs, magic weapon materials, and even various elixirs were of little use to Zhou Chun. At most, they would give him some extra bargaining chips when exchanging them for other spiritual items he needed in the future.

This also applies to those third-level magic weapons and monster eggs.

Zhou Chun planned to put all the monster eggs into the family treasury for the clan members to exchange.

As for the third-tier magic weapon, he would keep it in his hands for now. When a cultivator from the Zhou family successfully opened up a purple mansion in the future, he could give it as a reward.

However, there is an exception among them, which is the third-level top-grade flying magic weapon [Thunder and Fire Chariot] presented by the weapon refining master Zhu Wuya.

This object looks like a bronze chariot, with a low carriage and open sides. There is a red round umbrella upright inside the carriage, wheels on both sides, and two long shafts in the front.

Although it is a flying magic weapon, its flying speed is not fast.

In order to fully utilize the flying speed of this thing, a thunder-attributed monster or a fire-attributed monster is needed to pull the cart.

If there is a third-level thunder-attributed monster pulling the carriage, this [Thunder and Fire Chariot] will form a resonance and superposition effect with the monster itself, making the monster's flying speed much faster.

It is obvious that this [Thunder and Fire Car] is a magical weapon specially tailored by Zhu Wuya for Zhou Chun.

Moreover, he was extremely thoughtful. Even if Zhou Chun did not use this item, he could give it to Zhou Mingde who possessed the Fire God Jackal to use. It would not have to be kept in a storage bag and gather dust like the third-level magic tools given by other cultivators.

"Zhu Wuya is a very creative person, and he is a very thoughtful person!"

After Zhou Chun appraised the magical weapon [Thunder and Fire Chariot], he couldn't help but marvel at Zhu Wuya's ingenuity.

Perhaps due to lack of talent and resources, this person has not been able to break through to the level of a weapon refining master.

However, his skills in refining equipment and some of his ingenious ideas are indeed quite unique, worthy of his status as a master of refining equipment.

In short, Zhou Chun himself is very satisfied with this [Thunder and Fire Flying Car]. He plans to ride in this car when attending certain important occasions in the future to demonstrate his noble status.

The world of cultivating immortals is also very realistic. It is not advisable to hide your weaknesses blindly, as it is easy for people to ignore you.

If Zhou Chun was a casual cultivator, this might be feasible.

But he is not a casual cultivator, but the pillar of a Jindan family.

Therefore, in certain situations, he is destined not to be like some casual cultivators who downplay their existence and do not compete for fame or fortune.

After playing with the magical weapon [Thunder and Fire Chariot] for a while, Zhou Chun collected the various gifts, lowered his head and pondered the situation of this Golden Elixir Ceremony.

Overall, this Jindan Ceremony was naturally very successful. Both the number of Jindan-stage cultivators who were invited and the number of cultivators who came uninvited were much greater than those of ordinary Jindan-stage cultivators' Jindan ceremonies.

But it is not without flaws.

The biggest flaw was naturally that the Qinglian Temple, which nominally ruled Lingzhou and Lanzhou, did not send anyone to attend.

"This time, Qinglian Temple didn't even send someone to express congratulations. It seems that the current Yiyang Temple Master has a deep prejudice against my Zhou family!"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered, and his mood became a little heavy.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Even though Qinglian Temple no longer has any Nascent Soul cultivators, its strength is still far beyond what the Zhou family can match.

Now, because Taoist Qingchen is in seclusion to form a baby, Qinglian Temple has chosen to close the mountain for self-protection, and the Zhou family can still live freely.

When the closure of Qinglian Temple is over, I’m afraid they will find ways to suppress the Zhou family!

"It usually takes 20 to 30 years for a Jindan-stage cultivator to form a baby through seclusion. Now, less than 10 years have passed since Taoist Qingchen formed a baby through seclusion. This should leave our Zhou family with 10 to 20 years!"

Ten or twenty years is not a very long time.

But it can do a lot of things.

Zhou Chun pondered secretly in his heart, and soon came up with some ideas and decisions.

In the following months, the dragon fish banquet at the Zhou Chun Jindan Ceremony and the subsequent attack on the Zhou family by the late Jindan cultivators of the Hualong Sect directly became hot topics among cultivators in Jingguo and even several neighboring countries.

The fact that Zhou Chun had not fallen or even been injured under the attack of the late Golden Core monks surprised many Golden Core monks, and they completely believed in the fact that he killed a fourth-order fish demon just after he successfully formed the core.

Therefore, when talking about Zhou Chun, few people dared to treat him as a cultivator who had just formed a golden elixir. Instead, they all treated him as a senior cultivator in the early stage of golden elixir.

After the Golden Elixir Ceremony was held, the status of the Zhou family as a Golden Elixir family was completely recognized and consolidated, and the status of the Zhou family cultivators in the Jingguo immortal cultivation world also rose accordingly.

From now on, even if you go to other states in Yasukuni Shrine, you can get many small and medium-sized forces to give you face.

The Zhou family’s various businesses are becoming more and more prosperous.

At the same time, the top executives of the Zhou family also gained considerable benefits.

After Zhou Mingde was sure that the threat from the Hualong Sect had been eliminated, he drank the can of "Pure Spirit Water" handed to him by Zhou Chun to purify the poison and turbid air in his body. He then took the [Holy Spirit Blood Pill] and other spiritual objects into the cave to meditate and form the pill.

Zhou Daoyi also received some medicinal pills from Zhou Chun, and also began to work hard to break through to the late stage of Purple Mansion.

Previously, Zhou Chun used the [Demon Killing Order] to exchange for three Jindan spiritual objects, all of which were prepared for Zhou Daoyi.

As long as Zhou Daoyi breaks through to the late stage of Purple Mansion, he will have a chance to break through to the Core Formation stage.

And more than ten years passed, and Zhou Chun finally received the first [Xuanxin Zihuan Dan] that he had exchanged. The pill was handed directly to Zhou Xinlan, who could not wait to go into seclusion after getting the pill.

Zhou Chun himself was not idle either.

He first selected most of the unknown variety of lotus seeds he had obtained from the secret island and planted them in a pond on Tuyun Ridge. He gave the rest to his Taoist partner Su Yuzhen, asking him to take them back to the Su family to plant.

Then, under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, he secretly left Tuyun Ridge with the golden-armored mountain turtle Shi Tou and headed for the Jueling Desert.

Now that the elixir has been formed successfully, it is time to collect the [Mother Earth's Black Gold] in the abyss canyon in the Jueling Desert.
